Lamborghini 2-Tone Murcielago Pearl Gunmetal & Pearl Black

[Gamerxz]

Ok started this months ago. Just a standard murcielago , Gonna add some spice and pearls to it Body as stated is Pearl Gunmetal Pearl Black. Interior will be Black/Brillant Orange. Something like that colour scheme you see avalible on the new Gallardo spyder.
Not much progress pictures as i couldnt have access to a good camera when i started. Will post progress on the interior and engine as it comes

Body after paint and pearl coat + gloss coat






Light Housing done




Now this is the nice part.. The main body is polished up.. almost done still have to polish more. F/R bumper still in unpolished only sanded down.



Darker pictures just to show the reflection





Enjoy...

Two tone colour means two colours... i got the idea from Ferrari 599.. they offer two tone colours too. As u can see from my picture the main body is gunmetal.. and the rest mainly the top is black.. i just mixed the colours with pearl to that the that paint.. the purple whitish flakes in the paint is the pearl

Godfather > Thanks man!

If u take a look at the 4th and 5th picture ull see this purple bright spots some white... those small spots are all over the body and are only visible at a certain angle... those are pearl flakes.. from pearl paint... and there is no mixing ratio... the body is just painted in two colours that is very close on the colour chart

I think the confusion here is because Gamerxz' car is actually two colors; just as a classically prepared '57 Chevy might be red and white. The body is really dark silver, and the roof is black. With the pearl over it, it's hard to tell if you're not looking carefully. The pearl is (I'm assuming, as this is how it usually is) a clearcoat with pearlescent flakes in it. The pearl coat is sprayed over the main color, or colors in this case. What Gamerxz has done is paint the car two different colors (dark silver and black) and then coat the entire thing with pearl clearcoat. None of these are mixed, just one on top of the other. The pearl shows the other colors because it is mainly clear. I hope this helps.

The car looks stunning, by the way. I love the colors, though they are hard to tell in pictures. I am sure in person, it's subtle but stunning. Keep it up!

The top is body is spray gunmetal then masked to spray black.. and gunze has no pearl paint.. tamiya pearl would be so - so... the best pearl is from japan it comes in a bag powder form to mix with paint

Very nice! That light housing looks superb!

[Gamerxz]

Hmm was bored and took the wing from a JGTC Z kit and blu-tach it onto the murcielago lol... Anyway the rims are gonna be this colour but more polished to give it an alloy metal look. Interior is from my other murcielago taken just to get a feel of how it would look like when done..









Thanks for the comments! and willimo is right.... pearl mixed with clear

ooo... i see.. thanks man.. that really helped to clear up the picture.. btw i saw this pearl like color by gunze the other day in a nearby hobby shop. it says pearl. and u know w all gunze paints it will kinda indicate its purpose(e.g. aircraft, ships, WW2, cars, etc..) this one is labeled car primary. and i really was confused by it if Gamersxz's theory was the right one. initially i thought u could mix the pearl paint w some color... then gloss coat it.. and rub it till the cows come home.. or rather till it shines. =)
